who attend. This is outstanding

Staff consistently plan highly stimulating activities that children enthusiastically engage in, such as combining music and drawing, to promote children's early writing skills. They have high expectations of the children's abilities and children respond in a positive way by taking the lead; for example, toddler and pre-school children confidently add further items to their activities that extend their own learning. Staff use skilful questioning to help children solve problems and develop their own inquiring aptitudes, which provides them with useful skills for lifelong learning. Children, including the youngest babies, move freely between the outside and inside areas with confidence, and benefit from uninterrupted play for prolonged periods. This means they can explore and focus fully on their chosen learning experience. Staff provide thorough information to all parents about their children's progress and achievements, and successfully involve most in continuing learning

The manager and all staff have a secure knowledge of how to keep children safe and this is the core focus of their care practice. The quality of staff cover throughout the day ensures they provide each child with continuous care, which effectively promotes children's well-being. Children's views are highly valued, meaning they are confident to try new experiences. A children's council ensures they have an input into how their nursery works, with the children being confident to express what they like. They enjoy activities to promote their good health, such as daily dance and movement, and discuss the effects of exercise on their bodies. An enticing outside area provides challenges for all children and motivates them to develop their physical skills. Staff remind children regularly to drink water and children enjoy discussing their healthy meals with adults and friends at mealtimes. Children behave exceptionally well because the stimulating environment and
